1. Your family's opinion about your S.O. matters. You’re old enough to know that the “Us Against The World” type of love is total B.S. and only really happens in the movies. So before you get annoyed with your mom/tita/tito/lolo/lola for constantly nagging you to bring your boyfriend to your family lunch, remember that they only want to meet him and see if he’s good for you.
Bring your boyfriend next time, para makita naman namin.

2. So does your driver's. I was once told that a person's true character is revealed by how he treats regular folks like waiters, janitors, security guards, and drivers. So if he doesn't respect or at least try to be friendly with your beloved Kuya Jun, ditch him.
Di ko masyadong type yung kasintahan mo @GFsofMNL di siya nagbabati sa akin

3. Your tita will always know a guy who’s "perfect" for you. Why don't you give your Tita's amiga's son a shot and go on a date with him? He might just end up being your future husband. #TitasKnowBest
Tita Menchie's son is your age!

4. This is basically the definition of love in the modern age. Thanks, Conyos of Manila.
Love is when you both delete Tinder off your phones.

5. Your brother will ALWAYS hate your boyfriend—just because he's your brother. Sure they get along about the latest computer game or play fantasy ball together, but your brother will always ~*secretly*~ dislike him. It's probably because he's a guy too and knows how stupid they can get. He's just being protective, that's all. Talk about tough love.

And just for kicks, here's someone else from Manila who has a few words of wisdom for you:
Just because the past is painful doesn't mean the future will be.

Piliin mong magpatawad, piliin mong maging mahusay, piliin mong maging mapagpasalamat. Be better not bitter.
